DAYS includes five chapters of oral history that focus on major civilian,
military and peace experiences of 24 antiwar GIs. Some went to Vietnam
as medics. Some went to prison rather than compromise their beliefs.
Some were discharged for organizing against the war. An introduction
explains the concept of conscientious objection. An Afterword analyzes
major themes shared by the 24 narrators discussing them within the
framework of the more generalized resistance to the war that was
characteristic of the time.
